Who said he will?

[Bloodrun]

A majority of the old moderators should still be fired simply because they were not good leadership material.

 

I should be reinstated for my excellent performance in operating my forum in the past.

 

As for forum organization' date=' I propose something along the lines of this for General; everything is neatly categorized and concise.

 

tea, remove the link from your post, a picture would have been fine.

 

Not trying to be a dick, but, you only had to control one forum, of course people are going to expect that the forum would have been neatly run.

First:

Explain to me how thats hypocritical.

Second:

I was born after my parents were married, therefore, making me a non bastard.

[Brushfire]

First:

You just swore, yet you warned me for swearing a few days ago. That's hypocritical.

Second:

I was insulting you, get it right.

First:

Dick is not a swear word, it is a body part.

Second:

I know what you were trying to do, and I simply blocked it with an obvious statement.

[Brushfire]

First:

This list says differently.

Second:

If I can't use "profanity" to insult you, how can I? No seriously, I actually want you to tell me.

So your claiming your statement meant,

 

"I'm not trying to be a body part but.."

 

Explain the logic behind that statement =\

First:

Read Websters Dictionary, it's not a swear word.

Second:

You can always try, not insulting people, it tends to make people listen to you a lot more.

 

Cyber, Dick isn't a swear word, but a classification, such as idiot, or retard.

[Brushfire]

Insulting people now Bloodrun? I didn't know they allowed Flaming among you Moderators.

[Bloodrun]

What are you talking about?

I didn't insult anyone, try re-reading that post again, you can clearly see, I didn't insult anyone, if I did, I would have said you, or he.

 

And besides, I have no need to insult Cyber, he is neither a part of this conversation, nor the one who called me a "hypocritical bastard."

[Brushfire]

Mmmk.

Just so you know, dick is classified a swear word among modern day society. If I went into school tomorrow and called my teacher a dick, I'd get suspended.

So you are being hypocritical.

[Bloodrun]

No, I'm not. The reason people say "I don't mean to be a ____, but,"

Is to say a point without getting anyone mad.

That list sucks. The problem is, 'bastard' is a rechnical term. So are many other words theere.

[Careless Whisper]

I say you all get done with this arguement, you're clogging up a stickied thread, and....Faint and Bloodrun, I thought I respected you two for being good members, but now I am reconsidering becasue you two are acting like little babies who can't grow away from your own biggotry, quit argueing, I would have expected Bloodrun to already say this, sense he's a Mod, but it comes to me to have to say it.

 

 

Anyway, I say the Mod Application Thread was a complete waiste of time, because it got clogged in discusion that shoudn't have been there anyway and becasue YCMaker decided to stop using it when he chose Tea Leaf for Mod, ...but then again, Tea Leaf didn't make it so good as a mod for long. Bravo, our shortest termed mod ever!! :)

[RestLess-BoTics]

Here's a couple of my opinions for choosing moderators:

 

>I believe that each staff member of YCM should select at least three candidates, in which all of the selected candidates go through a voting process in the moderator/administrator forum. Then, the top five candidates from results of the voting process, should be interviewed by at least two or more moderators.

 

>Also, I've noticed that most of the threads that contain content such as, "Who do you think would make a good moderator?" have been locked. I understand that some were locked because a few members began to flame one another, but in my opinion, they shouldn't be locked - I don't believe they go against any of the rules of this site, and the thread could serve as a reference to the staff. That way, we can scrap the idea of another moderator application thread.

You seem to have awesome ideas, and yet they all should be allowed. The second rule doesn't really work, as it would cause to spam and all that 'I am better than him' stuff comes up.

 

And these suggestions (as Dark Raver previously said) makes you look like you're saying 'Can I be a mod?'

Well, I do have one thing that would greatly benifet the forum. Aloowing members to lock threads that they have posted. This would save the moderators a whole bunch of time and effort. The only thing is, a member would only be allowed to lock his own threads, this way, if they do not need the thread either permanently or temporarily, they can close it down on there own, that way Moderators can spend more time tracking down threads that are flooded with spam or are breaking the rules.

How would that cut down things?

 

It would still be a report, oh, my my threads, locked, or this threads locked.

 

We would be replacing a "Lock this thread" with a "Unlock this thread".

 

I don't see the upside to this.

 

Also, meti, quit trying to mini-mod, seriously.

If you had noticed I didn't reply to Faint's comment, for a day, and then Duff Man came in. Leave the moding to the mods?

[Careless Whisper]

Alright, let's say that some one owns a Shop thread... and they want to close it down for for a week, and they want it locked, it'd be pretty tidious for the moderators to have to lock the shop thread and then unlock it a week later. Making the job of a moderator somwhat easier, but too much.

 

Also, I am sorry, I did not look at the times, sinse I barely ever do, I really should. Anyway, I am sorry for being rude and seeming like I was mini-modding, I just did that under impulse, sense I do the very same thing at school, I just hate arguements that are worth nothing to either side.

Unlocking and locking, are fairly easy, but responding to reports is what takes the time.

 

Anyway, I do believe a new Suggestions thread will be opened with more "stricter" rules, and less pointless argueing/comments.

[Christian-Exodia]

This is off topic for your conversation, but I think we should have a option for having your post numbers on or off. I mean:

Like if you think you don't want to like go up with short, pointless posts, turn that off. If you want to post for real like Meti or Darth or Matt Enloe(Draco), turn it on.

I find it quite odd that you would list those names, especially Draco, and what are you actually suggesting?
